Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.
Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.

yes in SA.. October when my documents were received and November 25 when I got my LOE.. it was funny though that i didn't know it was approved already! it was late November when I sent them a mail for follow up that they said my LOE was already sent, so the ahpra attached it again.. i never got a hard copy of that from them..
ill call them if their timeline is still the same. if so. i would ask for documents to be transferred to SA. because its been 5 months since you applied anything can happen in that. like WA few months ago they are the fastest and then the next they are full of documents.
yeah i thinks so a friend of mine applied feb, he got his LOE in may. so roughly 4 months. went to unisa finished last year. latest is he hasnt got a job yet. he extends his visa twice now.

don't forget to ask them how to transfer if the applicant is in the Philippines... thanks ...
oh my! that is the same track I'm taking!! does your friend have nurse experience before applying to ahpra?
he does. 2 years i think in a tertiary hosp. im just affliated to him. he is the bf of my college classmate. last thing i heard 2 weeks ago. he is trying luck in sydney.. i think the competition right now is getting intense.

oh.. and now anxiety is getting into my nerves! i also have 2 years experience and it is not even in an acute care! im assigned in the OR so not much skills in the ward... huhu..
@Mr E-nigma please keep us updated when you call South Australia. When was your last call to AHPRA-WA? what did they tell you about your application? Thanks
@ Ychelle anne have you tried applying for other BP schools that offer 3-month bridging program? Unisa BP is 6 months, which also means longer time to study . .

Maybe youll have a different set of luck.. im not sure about the demand for operating theaters here. perseverance is the key here..

me too... I have been in the OR for 3 years now... Almost 4 years including exposures in the ward and ICUs... try searching in SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site I saw at least 3 employers willing to sponsor 457 visas for OR nurses... Don't worry, you can still cope
